Helpful. His final advice brought me to tears. I don’t have a single person in my life who isn’t directly negatively impacted by this administration’s evil. My little sister is transgender and living in ever increasing fear for her safety. I’m the daughter of an Iranian immigrant. I’m the mother of a Black girl. My coparent has owned a construction firm for 30 years and has lost government contracts from funding freezes and due to blatant racism. I live in Durham and our unemployment is skyrocketing with EPA and NIH layoffs. I’m originally from Wyoming. All we have is nature there. Yellowstone National Park, the Tetons, National Forest, and to see the job losses proceed what seems like inevitable deforestation and drilling… this is all so hard and unnecessary.
Jessica - Thank you for inviting Dr Huq to share his thoughts. I found this discussion to be thoughtful in a novel way and quite helpful.
I experience a lot of "all or nothing" framing, inflammatory language, and catastophizing in media over the last 90 days. I would like to thank you for not engaging in this. Your approach is measured and thoughtful while being honest and direct. I sincerely appreciate the effort you put into how you present difficult, potentially anxiety provoking information. Words do matter.
Very informative, thank you! Is it possible to share the answer to the final question, "What can we do?" on social media. It was very powerful and I would love to share that with others.
Face fear and Act. Too much is at stake. Show kindness....be an ally to those impacted. Vote and encourage others to Vote. Such great advice. Together we can do this. Don't let fear freeze us.Then they prevail. Start with Hands Off! April 29th. Join financial boycotts.. these matter.
This is such a great conversation-- nuanced, thoughtful, filled with helpful detail. My appreciation to you both. I'd love to see Professor Huq back sometime.
I live in a deep-red area. It seems like so many people around me are content to have it that way because they assume they'll be on the protected side of the dual state that is emerging. They think that due process is for "us" and not "them." They don't seem to understand that if one of us is unsafe, none of us are safe.
I just had the chance to listen to this interview in its entirety, and I am blown away at how well-spoken and kind Professor Huq is. It is definitely one of my favorite interviews you have done and I learned so much. I would love to see him back on NNN again soon!

This was an excellent interview. Thank you.
What a great talk. Not sure I feel "better," but any kind of thoughtful context is always so helpful!
Professor Huq was a font of information and has such deep experience to share with us. Thank you.
